This movie was beautiful, touching and lovely.
I see a lot of people commenting on the movie and mocking Christianity. I basically feel that if you don't believe in Jesus and who he was, why are you going to see it? If you are that bored, there are lots of other movies out there.
For me personally it was the bringing to live of a story that I have been told since a child and a story in which I believe. I don't insist that any one see it or be converted if they are not interested.
The thing that touched me so much was the relationship between Mary and Joseph. The telling of their struggle to accept what the Lord had for them to do and to deal with the opinions of their family and friends. In the process, they had to also cling to each other.
The one distracting thing for me was the angel of God who I thought came off smirky and plain odd. He didn't seem like what I would envision as an angel would be.
Ciaran Hinds is AWESOME as Herod. There were also some wonderful scenes of humor that I did not expect but that added much to the story.
People should open their eyes and stop attacking this movie based on their own hang ups on religion.
